Hello,
1st of all I would like to thank you der8auer for such a great non-K guide.
Basically you explained a lot and intrested me with such thing as OC but still I would like to ask you guys for advise regarding to my OC.
Let's just say I'm a total newbie on OC field and I gathered my knowledge from many guides (a lot of missleading informations), the thing is I would like to reach the safe maximum on my hardware but I dont know the limits and how to test them.
CPU: i7-6700 non-K
CPU coller: SilentiumPC Grandis XE1236v2 with 3x 120mm fans (~1100RPM max for my fans is I think 1600RPM. I can go higher with noise it isn't a problem for me)
Thermal paste: Arctic Silver 5
mobo: MSI Z170A Gaming M7 with 1.C1 BIOS (BLCK OC is allowed, once again thank you der8auer)
GPU: MSI GTX780 Gaming TF OC 3GB
RAM: 4x 8GB GSkill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16-8GVK
PSU: Corsair RM1000i
some SSDs
some HDDs
Intel Dual Port NIC PRO/1000
monitor: Benq 120/144hz
case: Fractal Design XL R2 with 7x 140mm fans (4x in / 3x out ~800RPM max for my fans is I think 1200RPM)
Everything is stable on these settings:
1st attempt (room temp 25c):
CPU: 4522Mhz (133Mhz BLCK / 1.325V)
RAM: 3192Mhz (16-16-16-36)
CPU package temp on Prime95_26.6 (FFT 1344) - max 61c
CPU package temp on Prime95_28.5 (FFT 1344) - max 58c
CPU package temp on OCCT 4.4.2 LINPACK with AVX - max 57c
CPU package temp on OCCT 4.4.2 LINPACK no AVX - max 62c
GPU temp running Heaven - max 73c
2nd attempt (room temp 23c):
CPU: 4590Mhz (135Mhz BLCK / 1.325V)
RAM: 3240Mhz (17-17-17-37)
CPU package temp on Prime95_26.6 (FFT 1344) - max 61c
CPU package temp on Prime95_28.5 (FFT 1344) - max 57c
CPU package temp on OCCT 4.4.2 LINPACK with AVX - max 55c
CPU package temp on OCCT 4.4.2 LINPACK no AVX - max 61c
CPU package temp on Cinebench R15 - max 68c
GPU temp running Heaven - max 72c
CPU questions:
Should I increase BLCK more, how much? Should I increase voltage? Whats the max safe/recommended?
How much temperature drop or potential OC increase will I get after buying Noctua NH-D15?
GPU questions:
Almost everything, screenshot attached with my GPU-Z and MSI afterburner. I couldnt find a proper guide how to OC this GPU.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
